# COOCON Expands MCP-Based Data Services for AI Agents > Source: > Published: 2026-06-29 23:03:02+00:00 For practitioners: standardizing external data into `MCP` format reduces custom connector work and makes agent-driven retrieval more predictable, which can shorten integration cycles for data-dependent agents. According to a Business Wire press release distributed June 29, COOCON, a South Korean business data platform, said it will convert existing financial, public, logistics and telecom APIs into `MCP`-formatted "MCP servers" and launch a "Dedicated AI-Ready Data Zone" on COOCON.NET in July. The company told media it will list about **30** MCP products at launch, expand to more than **100** by year-end and roll out its full portfolio by **2027** (Business Wire; Bernama). Reporting also states COOCON joined the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation and will participate in an MCP working group alongside firms such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Circle, Tron and Stripe (Bernama).
